1 Accident Claims Specialists

2 ABOUT US About PSR Solicitors PSR Solicitors was founded in 2009 by Paul Simon Rossiter. Mr Rossiter worked in several types of law firms from a small high street practice to a large Manchester law firm before opening his own legal practice. He saw a large gap between what clients wanted and what law firms provided. Mr Rossiter was aware that accident victims suffer not only from their injures, they also suffer financial and other losses. More important than that, accident victims often require advice and reassurance. That is why PSR Solicitors set out to take care of everything for you. Claiming compensation for your injury is just one part of what we do. We help in every way we can, such as providing rehabilitation services and arranging credit hire and repair. We do our best to get your life back on track so that when your case concludes and you receive your settlement cheque you will have been provided with a total service from PSR Solicitors. We have Offices throughout North Wales & Cheshire and can be contacted online through our website, by telephone or in person. About Personal Injury Solicitors A personal injury solicitor must have studied law and trained as a solicitor for 6 years before they are qualified. This means that they are well versed in the law and how it applies to your case. A lot of personal injury firms now use lawyers, paralegals, trainees or other non-solicitor employees to process accident and this means that they do not have the same skills or experience as our solicitors. They are cheaper to employ but there is a risk that they will lose a case that we will win, or that they will under value your compensation claim meaning that you are out of pocket. It could make a big difference who you instruct to act for you in pursuing your compensation claim and this is why you need to instruct an expert.
